If all continues to go well, next week will be my last appointment with RE. I have been going to him since June and have just come to appreciate his nurse and the medical assistant so much (he's okay, too, lol, but I definitely spent a lot more time with them!). Did anyone get the office staff anything on your last visit? I've already thought about sending them an edible arrangement after the birth, but feel like I should give them something as a token of my appreciation over the last 8 months.
Thoughts?
